CALERA, Alabama -- A Calera man remains in Shelby County jail today on bonds in excess of $1 million for charges alleging methamphetamine distribution involving at least 267 grams and other crimes, according to court documents.

Authorities last Wednesday arrested Larry Dean Broadhead, 47, on warrants for trafficking methamphetamine, unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of manufacturing paraphernalia, all felonies.

Broadhead, who lists an address on County Road 149 in Calera in his court file, has a hearing scheduled Sept. 24 in Shelby County District Court in Columbiana. He was initially arrested on the charges in April.

According to his arrest warrants, the trafficking methamphetamine charge alleges he had 267 grams of crystal methamphetamine for distribution on April 11 near the 8000 block of U.S. Highway 31 in Calera.

Additionally, the warrant for unlawful distribution of a controlled substance alleges he had methamphetamine for distribution on Oct. 24 around the 1000 block of U.S. Highway 31 in Alabaster.

Other criminal allegations against him include possessing a firearm on April 11 after being convicted of a crime of violence as well as possession of manufacturing paraphernalia including a "glass pipe, butane lighter/torch, digital scales, plastic baggies," according to his arrest warrants.

The trafficking charge carries a $1 million bond, while the other charges have a total of $40,000 in bonds.

The case involved the Calera Police Department and the Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force.

Calera Chief of Police Sean Lemley in an interview today said officers arrested Broadhead initially on April 11 after conducting a traffic stop on his vehicle at 1:50 a.m.

During the traffic stop, officers allegedly found nearly 10 ounces of methamphetamine in a suitcase, a handgun and $1,810 in cash, Lemley said.

"And they discovered various items used for the making and selling methamphetamine," the chief said. "He was a producer. He was making meth and selling meth."

Although officers arrested Broadhead at the time, he was later allowed to go to a hospital for a medical condition. "He's gotten all that cleared up and now's he going back into jail," Lemley said.
